XXL: Besides “Brooklyn Go Hard,” Lil Wayne and Drake’s “Unstoppable” also sampled your song. What are your thoughts on rappers taking these indie records and bringing them to a broader audience?

Santi: I think it’s great. It takes artists like them to open up the minds of the mainstream audiences. Hopefully it will inspire people who only listen to hip-hop to do some research and check out other kinds of music.

I rarely share things on OVO just cause I usually save it for my music. But I happend to have a very insightful glass half empty/glass half full type conversation with someone I know and they opened my eyes to the effect my voice has on people, positive and negative. I use each song and each interview as an oppurtunity to be honest and share my true emotions with anyone willing to listen. Sometimes I do so without thinking of the backlash it will have when that person or person(s) actually read it. Although I will continue to make honest music and share my life experiences with fans on this first album and throughout the course of my career I apologize to those who have ever felt any way because of anything I have said. If I've learned something from you...I love you.
